Uncensored words, could it mean trouble?

By: Kassy Sangster

It is fascinating to see that the citizens of China have had the opportunity to follow the Bo Xilai case since he was outed from his post in the party. Not only that, but get a view of China's organ harvesting practice, as the words "Bo Xilai" and "Organ harvesting" became free for the public of China to search. Practicers of the Falun Gong religion have been imprisoned by the government and it has been said that they have suffered from live organ transplants against their will. This sort of knowledge being passed to the citizens of China has rightfully shocked them. As China is having to be aware of both their public image they present to the outside world, and the image they show to their own people perhaps this sort of forced openness on topics such as organ harvesting will be harmful.
